I went to the Star Trek Convention last week - it was my first time there and I had a blast. Overall a great experience and it’s safe to say I have some new friends that I’m looking forward to seeing again next year. At the same time, I found all of the cash-only photos and signatures with the actors to be pretty sad/disappointing in a lot of ways.
I wrote an article about my experience, curious to hear what people think about it.
That’s totally fair but in this case all the actors signing autographs are multi-millionaires. Totally different I agree if it’s a much smaller actor but the Star Trek Convention definitely didn’t provide a platform for smaller actors, only the big ones.
I don’t known if you’ve been paying attention to the SAG strike, but it’s been really eye opening for me! Of course it sucks to pay 10$ for an autograph from a millionaire, but I wouldn’t assume to know how much they all actually make from acting gigs.
